Help with CKD

[tlm1]

Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding carbs and the CKD diet. To start off I have diverticulitus and I need to keep my fiber up so I eat 2 low carb high fiber wraps (7g fiber each and 3 net carbs) per day. I also eat 2 teaspoons of milled flax seed that I grind in my coffee grinder. What is the nutritional value per tablespoon of milled falx seed? Am I having too many carbs on a daily basis? The wraps and flax seed are the only carbs I eat except for whatever are in any green veggie I eat throughout the day.

Thanks!!

Flaxmeal is a staple in my diet. All of the carbs are fiber so eat liberally. Yesterday i had 16 tablespoons of flaxmeal. It will absolutely not knock you out of ketosis and will keep you clean as a whistle.

Make sure it is flaxmeal and not flax seeds. I would take in more flaxmeal and green vegetables and remove the wraps. Most likely you are not currently getting over 30grams of non-fiber carbs but with those wraps you are pushing it close i bet.

Of course the best way to solve this is with ketostix. Get them at a pharmacy and check your ketones.

What is the difference between flaxmeal and flaxseeds? I was assuming that flaxmeal was just ground up flaxseed?? How much fiber is in a tablespoon of flaxmeal? Thanks for the reponse!

correct, flaxmeal is ground up flaxseeds. You can get both at the grocery store and they are usually right next to each other so it's easy to grab one instead of the other.

4 grams of fiber in each serving of flaxmeal. The standard serving size is 2 tablespoons. Each serving also provides 4.5 grams of good clean polyunsaturated fats and 3 grams of protein. I consider it one of the most important parts of my diet. Highly underrated. A must on a ketogenic diet.

What are your thoughts about protein shakes while doing CKD? I currently have 2 Isopure no carb shakes per day, one after my fasted cardio in the am and 1 after evening workout.

I have 2 or 3 whey shakes a day. Just make sure there are no carbs (i don't know what isopure is)

Whole food is always better, but there is nothing wrong with protein shakes on a keto diet.
